CORRECTION, PASSAGE 1, QUESTION 2, SPOILERS BELOW.... .... .... ... .. ... ... ... The answer key says that "C" is correct but "A" or "C" could be correct. Some have argued that "D" should also be considered a possible answer but I still consider "D" incorrect because it does not imply that she can "easily" find a job, the person in the conversation does say "we can sign you up for the work-study program no problem", but that is NOT the same as easy finding a job. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and don't hesitate to ask and challenge any other answers :)
The argument I would like to make here is that in option A, the second part of the statement says finding a job, which is not specific to the work-study program and can be irrelevant. For option C, the professor never really implies that it is a good decision and only that they can "definitely" sign her up for the work study program, and also the fact that he tells her to try 10 hours a week first shows that he knows that she should be cautious to see if it is indeed a good decision. Which now leads to option D, clarifying why she can "easily" get on the work study program (since definitely means its mostly guaranteed) due to her good grades/ being a good student. Edit: I wanted to ask this, since in your reasoning I felt you made the point that the word "no problem" doesnt mean easy. But I would say it was the word "definitely" that implies that she would get it easily. If you do check this and make further points, can you give a few tips on how to avoid mixups like this if i did interpret this wrong? Since to me option D was the most direct and obvious connection.
@@akawolzie7157 thank you for your thoughtful comment, I think I understand your point and will address the following: "Which now leads to option D, clarifying why she can "easily" get on the work-study program (since definitely means its mostly guaranteed) due to her good grades/ being a good student." Choice D states "The student will easily be able to find a job on campus because she has good grades" --> good grades is not the same as being a good student. I have already explained the rationale for the other choices extensively. -- In regards to advice on mix-ups, they happen often, even to native speakers and TOEFL teachers like myself. When you encounter one, identify what the problem was and keep it in mind to avoid it next time, that's about all you can do really. Language is dense and contextual so there is no one rule I can give in a quick RUclips comment to solve all your problems... unfortunately. Just take it one at a time.
Is been 2 years since i took the toefl, it was a crazy experience. I am now preparing for SAT and as an international student I am so lost as I was when I first took the toefl. That is why I came back here to feel some guidance again and good Lord is so nostalgic! It made me cry. You have no idea just how many young students all around the world rely on your content, we grow with no help or guidance whatsoever, the whole american dream of a decent education feels so hard and so far, many of us are the first generation on our whole blood to even get a chance to get higher education. The bravest risk it all and strike to travel all across the globe for a better future, with people like u as our only help and company, is a journey. I just wanted to say thank u man. Those proud claps you do, after a long day of hard work, gave me hope to keep going.
Hi Josh! Thank you for all the materials and joy you share with us. I got my results this week and scored 96/120, enough to go to the master's program I am admitted to. Thank you once again and wish you all the best. I also write to encourage people here: I had less than 1 month to prepare, a crazy routine working more than 8h/day, and the usual pressure we all have for many reasons. You can totally do it. Cheers from Brazil!
Hi My English is not very good but i tried to writting, so i have a questions, if i practice my English for one year, do You think i Will do a this exam?? I going to study pending 4 hours for day
That's why you need to take notes. The lectures are really long and so are the conversations. There are a lot of details, and you have questions about some of those details. Will be nearly impossible to answer if you don't have good notes for it. Learn more about note-taking in this article - tstprep.com/articles/toefl/taking-notes-for-the-listening-section-of-the-toefl-test/. Hope you find it useful!
@@fuchryy You can take notes whenever you like. The only exception is at the beginning of a section when they are reading directions (or during the 10-minute break time in the middle of the test)
Agree with you, same me either. I tested listening IELTS and my score was ban 4,5 for correct >15, but for toefl I got 12 correct. It’s hard for me to remember even I wrote the key words😢
I just got my TOEFL scores and would like to show my appreciation for your videos! I got 108 out of 120 and had only 2-3 days to prepare myself, which I did with the help of your youtube videos. Thank you so much!
@@fma3852 Hi! Since I only had a couple of days to prepare myself, I had to focus on my main weakness - that was speaking. I practiced all of the sessions with the help of RUclips videos, but I focused more on speaking. TOEFL is a really long test so my main tip is to remain focused and calm. Go through the sessions after taking a minute to breath, and don’t let anxiety stress you out. What really helped me was to take smart notes; there are some videos about that too. You should focus on the important topics, especially on Writing and Speaking. For writing, I’d say you should read the questions first, not the entire text first because it would just make you waste time. Sometimes the answer really is the most obvious one! Hope this helps a little bit and good luck!!!!!
Hello! I'd like to take a moment to thank Josh for putting out such wonderful videos to help the students. I got my results a couple of days back. I scored a 114 ( R:30 L:26 S:29 W:29) . I only followed TST Prep and Notefull videos to achieve this score after studying for a week. I found the templates and tests helpful in my preparation. Thank you Josh!
I just tested on Saturday, July 23 and got my results yesterday...scored 108 overall. I prepared for a month, borrowed the TOEFL books from the library, and studied hard but the videos and online resources from TSL website made a HUGE difference. I got 29 on the listening portion and I credit this video for it!!! Thank you for the awesome content.
Hi Josh! I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have followed all your advices. Thanks to you and your dedication I’ve reached one of my biggest dream to study in a prestigious university in UK, so thank you very very much! For all those reading this comment, never give up, toefl can be harsh but you’re going to get this !! Lots of love xx

Hi Josh, thank you for all the materials and test samples you uploaded to your RUclips channel, as well as your TST Prep website. It was very helpful for me in preparing for the TOEFL test. I had no idea what TOEFL was in the beginning and had only 1 month to prepare (~1 hour per day as I'm very busy with my jobs). I just took the test last Sunday and my Reading and Listening score is 30 and 29. I still waiting for my Speaking and Writing scores but just want to update here for you. I really appreciate your time and effort in preparing all of these materials for us. Thank you Josh!

Update: For those who were asking, I think I did great on it. 28 R and 29 L. The TST Prep TOEFL materials really aligns with the actual test and prepares you for it. I felt confident in taking the TOEfl test because nothing caught me off gaurd.

As a native speaker this is why I have a problem with the test. The first question in the real world could be b or c. "If I don't start paying of my student loans now I am going to be strapped for cash after graduation so I was hoping I would be able to join the work study program and get a job on campus." She states her reason which is basically " I want to start paying off my student loans" THEREFORE I want to join work study. The reason is so she can pay off loans, so she needs a job which is provided by work study. She probably would not be there in the first place if she didn't have to worry about the loans so, the rooted reason is not to work study, but is to pay off loans. Work study is just the means to do this. Unless I studied for how these questions are supposed to be answered, I wouldn't get a perfect score.
No amount of gratitude would be enough to thank you, Mr. Josh MacPherson. I gave my TOEFL last week. I just had a week to prepare and it is only through your videos and free tests I could practice and prepare. I scored a total of 102 (R=20, L=28, S=27, W=27). I panicked during the first 30 mins which clearly affected my score but nevertheless, I'm happy that I could give my best. Thank you and keep doing the great work.

Can't get my head around how the answer for question 2 passage 1 is C. What does being a good student has to do with it being a good decision? he even warns her about how working might hurt her grades
Good question Argentino. This question type is "understand the function" and you have to focus on the repeated phrase in the question rather than the passage as a whole. In this case, for this particular excerpt, C is the best answer.
I agree. For Passage 1, Question 2, the answer C just doesn’t make any sense. The explanation doesn’t either. Sorry about saying this. Unless, the pause between “ you’re a smart student” and “ we can definitely sign you up…” a bit longer to make them more separated, to make the first part closer to the beginning of the conversation, the part about wanting to sign up for the work-study program, rather than to “we can definitely sign you up….”. Then the being smart part would be more relatable to her making a good decision. Just saying.
@@TSTPrep native american english here. That answer makes no sense, and neither does this explanation! A is clearly the best answer, and I'd even choose D over C. No speaker would ever mean C with the phrase in the question.

Hello everyone! My name is Alexandre Araújo de Carvalho. I am 35 years old. I am from Brazil. I have been studying English for three hours. Thank you so much.
Hi, Josh! I just came here to thank you and TST Prep for making all these amazing videos available. I scored 100 (R26, L26, S24, W24) in my first time taking the test. Now I am able to apply for the universities I want. I also want to express my opinion about the test day. As you said on the other video, it is important to practice doing the test in a noisy place. I didn't, so having people talking around me really distracted me during the test.
Thank you! For me it was mainly during the Reading section when people were arriving at the room while I was already doing the test. Also when I started the Writing section and some people were still in the Speaking section.
Excellent! This videos helped me on December to got better score in listening the last time I took the test… now, I am studing grammar and writting!!! So here we go

I took the TOEFL forty years ago and got an excellent score which gave me the confidence to go to university and complete an undergraduate degree. I have been speaking English almost exclusively since then. I did not do as well in this practice test as I thought I would. I am wondering if I got tired brain cells in my retirement years.
Haha and good question! Listening and reading academic passages in English is a much different skill than how we use language every day, so it would be perfectly natural to perform poorly on this test if you haven't been in school for a while, and this goes for the average native speaker as well. I don't think my parents would do great on the TOEFL, haha.

Choice D states "The student will easily be able to find a job on campus because she has good grades" --> good grades is not the same as being a good student. I have already explained the rationale for the other choices extensively. -- In regards to advice on mix-ups, they happen often, even to native speakers and TOEFL teachers like myself. When you encounter one, identify what the problem was and keep it in mind to avoid it next time, that's about all you can do really. Language is dense and contextual so there is no one rule I can give in a quick RUclips comment to solve all your problems... unfortunately. Just take it one at a time.
Heyyy tomorrow is my tofel home edition exam please give me some tips!!!
Is been 2 years since i took the toefl, it was a crazy experience. I am now preparing for SAT and as an international student I am so lost as I was when I first took the toefl. That is why I came back here to feel some guidance again and good Lord is so nostalgic! It made me cry. You have no idea just how many young students all around the world rely on your content, we grow with no help or guidance whatsoever, the whole american dream of a decent education feels so hard and so far, many of us are the first generation on our whole blood to even get a chance to get higher education. The bravest risk it all and strike to travel all across the globe for a better future, with people like u as our only help and company, is a journey. I just wanted to say thank u man. Those proud claps you do, after a long day of hard work, gave me hope to keep going.
Hey! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Much appreciated :)
Hi please I also want to prepare for sat I need tips website for practice anything that will help please let me know thanks

Hi Josh! Thank you for all the materials and joy you share with us. I got my results this week and scored 96/120, enough to go to the master's program I am admitted to. Thank you once again and wish you all the best. I also write to encourage people here: I had less than 1 month to prepare, a crazy routine working more than 8h/day, and the usual pressure we all have for many reasons. You can totally do it. Cheers from Brazil!
It's on the laptop do you answer a questions or the direction? Please answer me. Thank you
Hi. I'm in a similar condition: brazilian, working a lot and less than 1 month to study. I hope I do well on the exam!
Hi Débora,Can you explain about your routine, which free course you used for preparation. did you do toefl?
Hi
My English is not very good but i tried to writting, so i have a questions, if i practice my English for one year, do You think i Will do a this exam?? I going to study pending 4 hours for day
That encourages me ! I need this before enrolement to the Master program i admitted to 🤧🤧
I can understand English but memorizing an entire conversation in a few seconds is a complete different matter..
That's why you need to take notes. The lectures are really long and so are the conversations. There are a lot of details, and you have questions about some of those details. Will be nearly impossible to answer if you don't have good notes for it. Learn more about note-taking in this article - tstprep.com/articles/toefl/taking-notes-for-the-listening-section-of-the-toefl-test/. Hope you find it useful!
@@TSTPrep is it ok to take a notes while during the test ?
@@fuchryy You can take notes whenever you like. The only exception is at the beginning of a section when they are reading directions (or during the 10-minute break time in the middle of the test)
You don’t have to memorize, just create the scene in your mind.
Agree with you, same me either. I tested listening IELTS and my score was ban 4,5 for correct >15, but for toefl I got 12 correct. It’s hard for me to remember even I wrote the key words😢
I just got my TOEFL scores and would like to show my appreciation for your videos! I got 108 out of 120 and had only 2-3 days to prepare myself, which I did with the help of your youtube videos. Thank you so much!
Omg congrats was the test hard and can you give some tips I will really appreciate
@@fma3852 Hi! Since I only had a couple of days to prepare myself, I had to focus on my main weakness - that was speaking. I practiced all of the sessions with the help of RUclips videos, but I focused more on speaking. TOEFL is a really long test so my main tip is to remain focused and calm. Go through the sessions after taking a minute to breath, and don’t let anxiety stress you out. What really helped me was to take smart notes; there are some videos about that too. You should focus on the important topics, especially on Writing and Speaking. For writing, I’d say you should read the questions first, not the entire text first because it would just make you waste time. Sometimes the answer really is the most obvious one! Hope this helps a little bit and good luck!!!!!
@Giovanna Cuzziol Longo, congratulations! Happy to help and thanks for letting me know. This motivates me to do more!
woww what was ur english kevel at the beginnig of the preparation for TOEFL? im having mine in a couple of months, answer please!
Hello! I'd like to take a moment to thank Josh for putting out such wonderful videos to help the students. I got my results a couple of days back. I scored a 114 ( R:30 L:26 S:29 W:29) . I only followed TST Prep and Notefull videos to achieve this score after studying for a week. I found the templates and tests helpful in my preparation. Thank you Josh!
Great news! Congratulations on your score. We are so happy to hear you can move on to the next phase of your life.
I just tested on Saturday, July 23 and got my results yesterday...scored 108 overall. I prepared for a month, borrowed the TOEFL books from the library, and studied hard but the videos and online resources from TSL website made a HUGE difference.
I got 29 on the listening portion and I credit this video for it!!!
Thank you for the awesome content.
Toefl and ielts , pls which is better and easy to pass?
FAKE results..
Hi Josh! I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have followed all your advices. Thanks to you and your dedication I’ve reached one of my biggest dream to study in a prestigious university in UK, so thank you very very much!

the way you describe i can undestand easily, it help me a lot Thank you so much Sir.
As a native speaker this is why I have a problem with the test. The first question in the real world could be b or c. "If I don't start paying of my student loans now I am going to be strapped for cash after graduation so I was hoping I would be able to join the work study program and get a job on campus." She states her reason which is basically " I want to start paying off my student loans" THEREFORE I want to join work study. The reason is so she can pay off loans, so she needs a job which is provided by work study. She probably would not be there in the first place if she didn't have to worry about the loans so, the rooted reason is not to work study, but is to pay off loans. Work study is just the means to do this. Unless I studied for how these questions are supposed to be answered, I wouldn't get a perfect score.
I had the same reasoning and experience.
I'm Brazilian and about to take the test. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you very much :)!!
Thanks for commenting and good luck on your test!
No amount of gratitude would be enough to thank you, Mr. Josh MacPherson. I gave my TOEFL last week.

If I knew that the test was this easy, I would always love that!
Can't get my head around how the answer for question 2 passage 1 is C.
What does being a good student has to do with it being a good decision? he even warns her about how working might hurt her grades
Good question Argentino. This question type is "understand the function" and you have to focus on the repeated phrase in the question rather than the passage as a whole. In this case, for this particular excerpt, C is the best answer.
I agree. For Passage 1, Question 2, the answer C just doesn’t make any sense. The explanation doesn’t either. Sorry about saying this.
Unless, the pause between “ you’re a smart student” and “ we can definitely sign you up…” a bit longer to make them more separated, to make the first part closer to the beginning of the conversation, the part about wanting to sign up for the work-study program, rather than to “we can definitely sign you up….”. Then the being smart part would be more relatable to her making a good decision. Just saying.
@@TSTPrep native american english here. That answer makes no sense, and neither does this explanation! A is clearly the best answer, and I'd even choose D over C. No speaker would ever mean C with the phrase in the question.
@@harukas.1635 hi there and thank you for keeping this thread alive. I have reviewed the question again and agree. I will warn students as a pinned comment. Thank you for taking the time to look it over.

Hi Josh, thank you for all the material, its help me a lot!
Hey, Josh! Took my TOEFL some days ago and I got a 10 overall, 29 R, 29 L, 23 T and 23 W. Thanks for the videos, they helped out a lot!
Happy to help and thanks for letting me know.
Hey Josh! Your materials are great! It's very helpful to me!
I'm a well-educated native English speaker- this was hard for me and I got several questions wrong. 😂 You guys are champs, keep it up! 💪💪
~:~
Basically it's langual understanding and interpretation exam! If you cannot use English fluently but good at language use, you can get a high score! Sounds like it fit in the originality and purpose of the examination!
Oh I got 22 out of 28. Passage 4 is the toughest one for me.
Btw, I am going to take the test today!!! Hope it goes well😂
Thanks for commenting and good luck!
Where did you find the answers ?

I just finished I had R16, L18😭
Hi, Josh! I just came here to thank you and TST Prep for making all these amazing videos available. I scored 100 (R26, L26, S24, W24) in my first time taking the test. Now I am able to apply for the universities I want. I also want to express my opinion about the test day. As you said on the other video, it is important to practice doing the test in a noisy place. I didn't, so having people talking around me really distracted me during the test.
Hi Karen, congratulations on your score and thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Hey! Congratulations! The distraction was majorly during which of the sections?
Thank you! For me it was mainly during the Reading section when people were arriving at the room while I was already doing the test. Also when I started the Writing section and some people were still in the Speaking section.
Excellent! This videos helped me on December to got better score in listening the last time I took the test… now, I am studing grammar and writting!!! So here we go
That’s great news about your listening score! Thanks for letting me know and here is a link to our writing guide that you might find useful - drive.google.com/file/d/1ZWv72rlPez6Iwt5Xk4GbhsZVDxkraJ9q/view?usp=sharing
@@TSTPrep thanks again
I took the TOEFL forty years ago and got an excellent score which gave me the confidence to go to university and complete an undergraduate degree. I have been speaking English almost exclusively since then. I did not do as well in this practice test as I thought I would. I am wondering if I got tired brain cells in my retirement years.
Haha and good question! Listening and reading academic passages in English is a much different skill than how we use language every day, so it would be perfectly natural to perform poorly on this test if you haven't been in school for a while, and this goes for the average native speaker as well. I don't think my parents would do great on the TOEFL, haha.
Thank you so much! You're amazing!!!
Hi Josh! Your videos are awesome! I scored 105 on just a week preparation. Your videos helped a lot!! Thanks a lot and keep making awesome content!!!! Cheers to you!!!
